"Not to be sexist but, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman," he said.

T.I has come under scrutiny after claiming that he doesn't think a woman should be President of the Unites States.

The Grammy Award winning rapper suggested that women are too emotional to hold such a position of power.

"Not to be sexist, I can't vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman," he said during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid on US radio.

"Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally – they make very permanent, cemented decisions – and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet."

T.I took his views a step further by claiming that not only would he not vote for a woman President, but he thinks it's more likely a make believe creature will be voted in before a female is.

"I think you might be able to the Loch Ness Monster elected before you could [get a woman]".

Unsurprisingly, Twitter reacted accordingly to the comments.
